Eco Hostel Reviews

we stayed at eco hostel for one night having arrived to santiago after a 17h flight. We arrived at around 12 and were told at first that we can check in at 13, but after all we were told that we can only get access to our room at 5! they had emptied all the rooms as they some sort of insert infestation...did not really see anything though. room pretty basic, bathroom/showers on the first floor much nicer than ground floor. it has a nice patio with a hammock and siting area.

Really nice hostel, friendly staff, good facilities, comfortable beds. A little bit of a trek from the main things, especially with a backpack on, but close to a good supermarket and some good value bars and restaurants. I´d stay here again!

We stayed for 3 nights, thursday to sunday. It was verry good. Great staff, tryed to do everything to inform you. Also it is only 2 blocks from a big supermarket and 5 blocks from a metro station. The breakfast is one of the best we had, in 3 months of traffeling!

Eco Hostel has become my home-base in Chile ! I stayed there everytime I went through Santiago on my way to another destination in Chile. Very clean, great atmosphere, a few social events and asados, cute little courtyards. Only drawback: corridor can be busy and a disturbance; staff should enforce silence during night hours instead of talking loud too. Enzo, the boss, did an absolutely great job at recommending things to do and places to stay in Chile, particularly Navimag trip. A must !

Our opinion? Very simple. We have decided to stay here for another ten days. That tells you everything.

very nice hostel in the centre of Santiago with very friendly, helpful staff! Had a great barbeque there. good chance to meet some german people there. not too big, good service (breakfast , suggestions,...)

super chill, good kitchen, quiet location, easy access to the rest of the city

Great hostel. Very chilled out and we were refreshed to see a hostel in south America conscious of recycling. But don't worry there are not loads of hippies floating around in silly trousers annoying you. Staff were very helpful and the place had good character. Our only complaint was the rationing of the included breakfast -1 bowl of cereal, 2 slices of toast, 1 piece of fruit and one tea or coffee. Apart from that it is a great hostel!

Good hostel, located near a supermarket but a bit far from the main center. It says it is an 'eco' hostel but they leave everything on during the night (computer, TV, etc). The breakfast was very light. Staff is friendly.

Excellent hostel. Very clean and brilliant breakfast.

This is probably the best hostel in Santiago. When I chatted with other travellers staying in the hostel, they all tend to agree with me. I particularly like this hostel as it provides all the information needed for a new arrival in the city. You can settle down and feel like a local within a short time of your arrival.

Really enjoyable stay in an exceptionally clean hostel. Lots of character (small inside courtyard) and a very well equipped kitchen (good knives, mixer, robot, ...), friendly helpful staff, good location with local cheap street market around the corner and much more. Plus, it is the only place that offers recycling bins. Feels like home (sofa, BBQ area, guitar and books for all...). Only drawback is that all rooms are along the corridor which can be loud, though it is mostly a quiet place.

Very good hostel, liked the outdoor areas and hammock. Relaxed atmosphere. Comfortable beds. Handy lockable cupboards for your pack in the dormitory room. Helpful staff

Eco Hostel was a nice place to spend a few days in Santiago. There was always hot water. The shared bathrooms were cleaned every day. The wifi was pretty solid. One downer is that it gets pretty noisy in rooms near the kitchen/common areas in the morning. Overall, I thought it was pretty good. I would stay there again.

Liked this hostel a lot and would recommend it and stay there again, however, on my second to last day my bed was given to someone else because the cleaner thought my bed was free despite me leaving my towel drying at the end of the bed, a book, water, my specs and pj's inside the bed. I had to go on a rummage round the hostel to relocate everything. The hostel needs to have a better system for knowing which beds are taken and which are free. Just make sure you make it obvious when you go out

Verry nice hostel , nice staff, hostel ok...the tours they offer are verry overpriced for what you get....

One of the best hotels we have stayed at in South America. Had everything you could ask for - wifi, breakfast, good atmosphere, very clean.

This was by far the most comfortable, well staffed hostel of the three I experienced in Santiago. The location isn't ideal but it's quite close to a metro stop on line 1, which will take you anywhere you want to go. Highly recommended!

Very, Very quiet hostel. Very minimal communication between guests. If your hermit, youll love this place, but dont come here if you want atmosphere. Metro trains approx 10 min walk away. Asked about tours that were availalbe was told of a hike in the mountains and the price that was quoted seemed unreasonable. It was as if they were targetting people straight off the plan . Very creeky rooms. Showers good. Road noise minimal, Breakfast consisted of toast, jam, cookies, fruit, cereal and drinks.

We started our tour of South America here in Santiago and this hostel was the best thing we could have hoped for. Clean, comfortable, friendly & sociable atmosphere, considerate guests (not noisy at night) and within walking distance to metro stations (10 mins) and the main square (30 mins). Great breakfast of cereals and bread/jam, free internet, really helpful staff (Sebastian helped us for 3 hours to plan a 5 month trip!). Lovely outdoor courtyard areas to eat, chat and relax -a hammock too!
